Walking Shoes Blues
©clay howard
verse 1:
that woman of mine left town today
left me alone with my mind to play
keeping her around is something I can't do
Lord knows that I tried time and again
she told me that he was just her friend
but here I am alone -she's in her walking shoes
chorus:
her walking shoes
lead to my talking blue
I've always liked her in her stocking feet
her walking shoes
left me alone with the blues
here's hoping that her walking shoes make her complete
verse 2:
that lady I know just told me we're through
she left me alone with nothing to do
I knew her time with me would not last long
no matter what I tried
I knew as time goes by
I'd be here again singing the walking song
chorus:
her walking shoes
lead to my talking blue
I've always liked her in her stocking feet
her walking shoes
left me alone with the blues
here's hoping that her walking shoes make her complete

Got the smoking gun blues
Got the smoking gun blues
From my fedora to my wing tip shoes
Got the smoking gun blues
Guilty as sin
Cops are closing in
Got the smoking gun blues
No need for clues
Got the smoking gun blues
Made an offer that they couldn't refuse
Got the smoking gun blues
Race horses head
Wound up in his bed
Got the smoking gun blues
Took up my quarter and headed for the phone
My grade school hero was Alphonse Capone
smoking gun blues
smoking gun blues
Walk in the park
Big dogs bark
The lies they're all true
Smoking gun blues
Stars and stripes and bars are all that I do
Smoking gun blues
Call em like I see em
This joints my mauselum
Smoking. Gun blues

it’s the end of the night at the end of the bar
she hands me the keys and says not too far
would you come home with a little ol girl like me
I’m gonna get some, have a little snack
take a little nap and sneak out the back x2
i don’t like relationships i mess em up each time
i’m more in to fun and games what’d you have on your mind
Chorus
I know what your thinking
but i don’t want no trouble
acting like my mother
hanging around all over my shoulder
always wanting somebody over
driving my car and spending my money
makes me just want to take off running
and go get some
Chorus (till you can’t sing it anymore x’s)

my momma asked me when I was just a little boy
my momma asked me when I was just a little boy
son, what's a suckling to a sow?
but momma
momma what you think of me now?
my momma told me I weren't nothing but a trifling thing
my momma told me I weren't nothing but a trifling thing
you gave me the switch with an apple bough
but momma
momma what you think of me now?
my momma laughed at me, said I'd never be a man
my momma laughed at me, said I'd never be a man
but I caught my woman messin' and I cut her down
momma what you think of me now?

No God could ever love me
after all that I have done
I said no God could ever love me
after all that I have done
Spent my whole life as a sinner
Ain't no saving this Prodigals son
Well the shot glass is my savior
The Whiskey bottle is my King
Now I'll be on my best behavior
Still the Whiskey is my king
Ain't no Angels singing for this broken soul
Aint' no church bells gonna ring
I see a long road to keep on walking
But a short path to my grave
Don't know how I'll keep on walking
Gonna lay down in my grave
Where no light could ever find me
Here in the darkness down below, where even Jesus couldn't save.

ain in my Veins
Another song begins and I’m reminded of you
The mood of the music sounds like you used to
Every beat played may as well be your footsteps
Even the heartbeat doesn’t let me forget
I hear your soundtrack and I taste your kiss
You’re the train in my veins that I can’t resist
I hear the disco in the wind when you step into the night
The air smells like fragrance from a forgotten time
You are the first on the list of the all time favorite songs
And the look in your eye is the world’s best written line
I hear your soundtrack and I taste your kiss
You’re the train in my veins that I can’t resist
So I sing to remember
And I sleep not to feel
I sing to remember
And I sleep not to feel
I wonder what your song will sound like when you’re older
A flock of flamingos Or a string lullaby
Will you let me hear you when we are apart or together?
Will you let me hear you tonight and forever?
I hear your soundtrack and I taste your kiss
You’re the train in my veins
I hear your soundtrack and I taste your kiss
You’re the train in my veins that I can’t resist
I can’t resist
No I can’t resist
No I can’t resist

Corky - Walkin' Away

Walkin’ Away
When I look outside my window
And all I see is pain
And the emptiness before me is all that remains
The only drive I can muster
Is to walk right out that door
And I’ll just keep on walkin’ til I can’t walk no more
Walkin’ Away
You know I just can’t stay in one place anymore
Walkin’ Away
There’s nothing left for me anymore
Walkin’ Away
And I just can’t be reminded
Well there ain’t no road that’ll take me far enough
So I keep Walkin’ Away
All the memories they chase me
And I just can’t get away
Yet my feet they never tire, day after day
As the souls on my shoes
They slowly disappear
It’s my soul that’s left in tatters now that you’re not here
Walkin’ Away
Though the memories never fade
Walkin’ Away
Since they’ve carried you away
Walkin’ Away
And I just can’t be reminded anymore
Cause there ain’t no road that’ll take me far enough
So I’m Walkin’, Walkin’ Away
Now you know
When you see
The people out on the highway just walkin’ and starin’ ahead
They might’ve lost
Somethin’ sweet
And now their feet just keep takin’ them further down the road
To search for some
Kind of peace
And that’s just what’s happenin’ to me
And I don’t know what’s come over me
But there’s only one place I can be
Walkin’ Away
And I just can’t stay in one place anymore
Walkin’ Away
It’s the last thing I know how to do
Walkin’ Away
And I just can’t be reminded anymore
There ain’t no road that can take me far enough
So I’m walkin’, Walkin’ Away
Just gotta keep on walkin’
Walkin’ Away

Sing like you mean it
Don't sing in between it
Believe what you're sayin'
Make it worth the price you're payin'
There's no need to hide
What you got inside
It's ok to have the blues
It's ok to be alone
It's ok if you lose
It's ok if you want to go
I think that you'll make it
Don't want to half-bake it
And I'd only be lyin'
If I said I was tryin'
But if you ask me to leave
You won't get my retreat
It's ok to have the blues
It's ok to be alone
It's ok if you lose
It's ok if you want to go
Walk like you talk it
Don't be content to squawk it
End what you started
Don't do it half-hearted
There's no need to hide
What you got inside
It's ok to have the blues
It's ok to be alone
It's ok if you lose
It's ok if you have to go
